Has anyone else noticed Reddit being taken over by shills/bot/trolls
I dunno, a bit before that my only account of 10+ years got sitewide shadowbanned without warning or explanation, with everything I ever wrote (and all replies to it) vanishing from public view. I used their appeal page, got a message saying it was an error and my appeal was approved… and then it stayed broken and and appeals won’t work because it says the account is normal.
I resurrected an ancient career-advice-throwaway account to ask for help, and the same thing happened. And their generic support site is a total black-hole. I’m not ashamed to say the process was way more emotionally-devastating than I would have expected, as it was my primary social-media identity.
That certainly tore off some blinders about how close we are to being sharecroppers to our Kafkaesque system overlords.
